Donor: International Rescue Committee and Open Society Foundations
Duration: February 2016 – August 2016
The aim of this six-months long project was to provide consistent protection monitoring and a referral mechanism in the area where this was not available. The BCHR worked on achieving improvement in three main areas – the coordination of IRC partners in protection issues in Dimitrovgrad, building a referral mechanism, and strengthening local capacities.
Belgrade Centre for Human Rights conducted activities in three main areas:
- Coordination of activities of International Rescue Committee’s implementation partners in Dimitrovgrad,
- Developing referral mechanism to provide adequate protection to refugees,
- Strengthening capacities of local institutions providing services to refugees.
Belgrade Centre for Human Rights also conducted trainings for representatives of civil society organizations dealing with protection of refugees in Dimitrovgrad, with the aim of introducing them to the basics of refugee law, right to asylum in Serbia, principles of border monitoring, system of identification of survivors of trafficking, as well as other relevant topics.
